A lot of Christians love to talk about "witnessing, evangelizing, spreading the Good News" etc.
Have any of them thought about just how many times each North American 'heathen' (that would be those of us who are not Christian) have "heard the Word"?
If there were ten million evangelizing Christians in North America, does that mean I have to be evangelized ten million times before I get the card that says I've been evangelized enough?
Why isn't once enough? Or better yet, leave it up to me to decide whether I want to hear the Word today. Are Christians so convinced that the decision-making capacities of non-Christians are so compromised by the Devil or whatever that they cannot trust non-Christians to make up their own minds about such things? No non-Christian has this capacity?
How much respect could evangelizing Christians have for those who do not share their faith?
Is it a matter of piling on till I say "okay, I give in" just to get it to stop?

Mr. Mister: very impressive: a vague one sentence answer and a forty page diatribe loosely called a "source".
If others follw suit we might compete with Dr. Hawking for storage space.

Not even once. We all know that religions exist. And we all know where to go if we wanted to approach or join a religion. So, I'll ask Christians to keep their religions to themselves, and not waste their time trying to evangelise me. That's so annoying!

Go ye into all the World and Preach the Gospel.
YOU only have to hear it Once.
After that, YOU are accountable to GOD if you don't take HIM up on HIS offer of Salvation.
But you gotta hear it ONCE.
Not our fault if YOU don't accept.
It is our Fault if we don't tell you.
Hope this helps.
No body will have an excuse when you stand befor an Almighty GOD.

As many times as possible. Jesus did not tell the disciples quota about spreading the gospel. It is just supposed to be done.

Some of them are obsessed. It is like they are racking up airline points or something.

I generally threaten them with physical violence and they always stop.
